EOC WEEK 8: Disaster New Products

"A grocery store has 2000 new products every year."
"There are 3 products out of the 2000 that actually last for an average of about 5 years." (Frank Pinto)

Even though there are so many products produced not all are great ideas and stick with the consumer. That doesn't mean that not a single person may like the bad ideas, but you need enough people to like it to make it stick in the appropriate market. As a class we were instructed to come up with at least three bad ideas. A really great one I came up with is Tobacco flavored ice cream, by Marlboro. The flavor of a cigarette minus the cancer. Although as a comfort it could be great. Another idea I thought of that could be super disastrous is food scented hairspray, not such a good idea if your going on a picnic, you have a case of the ants!  ants on google images
Last but not least the electronic Rollerblades that power themselves. Put em' on and turn on! Away you go!This is not a great idea because it would be completely unsafe. How about stopping, is there a button?Roller Derby V 500 Adjustable Inline Skates 2011
